T0 alla/hom t mag/concern:

Be it known that we, ROLAND MORRILL and FERNANDO MORLEY, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Benton Harbor, in the county of Berrien,State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inInsect-Destroyers, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inportable spraying pumps of that class designed to be inserted into abarrel, tank or other receptacle, and having means for forcing the waterthrough suitable hose upon the plants or other desired objects, and ithas forits object among others to provide a simple and cheap pump ofthis character, composed of few parts and those readily assembled, andin Awhich the valves and piston and other parts so soon worn in ordinaryconstructions are rendered capable of use for a greater length of timeowing to the fact that the sediment is retained in the pump-head and notcarried through the cylinder.' Y We provide an agitator which ispivotally connected with the bodyportion of the pump and adapted to beactuated by the reciprocation of vthe pump handle to which itis`pivotally connected.

The casting constituting the cap to the cyl-A inder is of novelconstruction. The agitator is so arranged that upon its downward stroke,as soon as it passes the center it throws a current across the bottomofthe barrel directly under the intake of the pump and thus prevents thesediment from entering, andif perchance any should enter the bodyportion of the pump it willbe retainedtherein and not pass to thecylinder. It can be readily removed when desired through a hand-holeprovided in the body portion for that purpose.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appearand the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by theappended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisspecification, and inwhich- Figure 1 is a substantially central verticalY section showing the pump within the barrel a portion of which isbroken away. Fig. 2 is plan View of ,the adjustable head-plate removed.Fig. 3 is a plan of the agitator. Fig. 4 is a substantially centralvertical section through the cap piece.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the severalviews. n

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates acylinder of the required length and which constitutes the stand pipe orair chamber4 of the pump. It is removably secured` at its lower end inthe screw threaded neck b of the body portion B of the pump which'is acasting of elbow form `the said neck being at its upper end'while theother end is provided with a removable plug or cap B as seen in Fig. 1,to permit of access to the interior of the casting when desired. Thiscasting is preferably provided with legs b as shown to elevate the sameslightly above the bottom of the barrel or .other receptacle withinwhich it isplaced, although it is evident that the casting may be placedupon any suitable contrivance to thus elevate it. This casting isfurther provided with the cylinder C which is screwed into an openingtherein andwithin this cylinder Works the piston D provided withpackingv rings as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1 and this piston orplunger is formed with a depending rounded portion d as seen in Fig.land within this rounded cavity is pivotally held the lower end of theplunger rodE upon a rod or pin e, the other end of the plunger rod'beingpivotally connected as at c with the operating handle E as shown in Fig.1.

This manner of connection permits of the necessary movement of theplunger rod Without binding the plunger in the cylinder C. In the bottomof the casting in Vertical line with the opening in which the cylinder Cis secured is an, opening in which is screw threaded the sleeve F havinga flange f at its upper end as seen in Fig. 1, said ange being providedwith ears f in which is held the pivot pin f2 upon which is pivotallymounted the iap valve F', the ysaid. valve having an up-Wardly-extending projection or lobe F2 working through an opening inth'e arm which carries the valve, the said arm serving to'prevent theValve from passing the center when inA action by reason of vthe saidlobe engaging the inner Wall of the casting.

.Gr is the discharge pipe. It is arranged con- IOO centrically withinthe barrel or cylinder A and its lower end terminates a short distanceabove the lower end of the said cylinder as seen in Fig. 1, while in thelneck b of the casting Bis a diaphragm B2 having an opening in which issecured the nipple or tube H having a horizontal flange at its upper endand carrying a valve G similar to the valve F just described. Y

I is a cap piece or bulk-head having an internally threaded neck z' intowhich is screwed the upper end of the cylinder A as shown in Fig. 1. Thesaid cap-piece is further pro- A vided with a centrally-disposedvertical screw threaded opening fi which communicates with the chamber Jfrom which lead the two screw threaded nipples I as seen best in Fig. 4into which may be screwed the delivery pipes which may be of anysuitable character, flexible or otherwise. This cap is formed with theears or lugs j in which is held the pin K on which is pivoted theoperating handle E as seen in Fig. 1.

The end of the operating handle or lever has pivotally connected theretoa rod L the other end of which is pivotally held to a lug or theequivalent projecting upward from the agitator M, which agitator ispivotally held as at Z to a lug l\` on the body portion or casting B asshown in Fig. 1, the agitator being formed with the ears m as shown,through which the pivot passes.

In practice the pump constructed substantally as above described isinserted within a barrel N or any other receptacle or into a body ofwater contained therein. The top of the barrel is provided with adiammetrical opening over which is arranged the head plate which iscomposed of two substantially like parts shown detached in Fig. 2, eachpart O having an opening o on one side with an upwardlyextending dange oto embrace the cylinder A, and the two parts hinged together at theinner adjacent corners as at O and at the opposite corners provided withthe lugs o2 through which is designed to pass the key or bolt P as shownin Fig. 1. The said plates are provided upon their adjacent edges withlongitudinal recesses P which, `when the plates are together, form slotsthrough which pass the rods E and L, and at these points are providedthe downwardly-extending iianges p as seen best in Fig. 1 to preventsplashing or slopping of the liquid as the handle is worked.

In applying the head one part is placed in position and then the otherand when the adjacent edges are brought together, the one moving withrelation to the other upon the pivot or hinge, the same are clampedtogether by the keyand the cylinder is firmlyembraced thereby. Theplates are secured to the head Q of the barrel by means of screws orother devices inserted in the holes q at the corners of the plates asshown in Fig. 2.

As seen at the right of Fig. 1 at the bottom the sleeve F is formed witha square opening for the reception of a wrench or other means forseating and unseating the same, and the upper face is countersunk asseen in the section to prevent the face being bruised by tools and alsoleaves the face of uniform width throughout its entire circumference.

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description,when taken in connection with the annexed drawings. The pump beingplaced in the barrel and the liquid therein prepared as may be desiredthe operating handle or lever is actuated which will operate the plungerin the usual manner to force the water np the discharge pipe and out ofthe delivery pipes. The agitator serves to cause a current acrossbeneath the inlet opening F and prevents the sediment from being takenup into the pump.

Modifications in detail may be resorted to without departing from thespirit of the invention or sacricing any of its advantages.

What is claimed as new is- 1. The casting formed with a neck to receivethe cylinder and having a diaphragm with an opening to receive a valveseat, a removable plug at right angles to the neck, an inlet openingwith valve and an exterior lug, combined with the pump barrel, thedischarge pipe and the valves, an agitator mounted on a pivot held insaid lug and means for operating the agitator, substantially asspecified.

2. The combination with the body portionV of the pump having a lug uponone side and an inlet opening in its bottom, of an agitator horizontallydisposed near the bottom and pivotally mounted on said lug and adaptedto force the current beneath said inlet opening, the plunger, thedischarge spout and cooperating means, substantially as specified.

3. The two-part head plate each part formed with a semi-circular recessand oppositelydisposed recesses to form slots for the passage of theoperating rods of the pump and agitator, the said two parts beingpivotally connected together at one corner, as set forth.

4. The combination with the elbow body portion, of the cylinder securedin a neck thereof, the cap-piece secured to the upper end of thecylinder, the discharge pipe held suspended concentrically within thecylinder and supported by the cap-piece, the operating handle, pivotallymounted on-said cap piece the plunger connected therewith,and thehorizontally disposed oscillatory agitator pivotally mounted on the bodyportion and pivotally connected with the operating handle, as set forth.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
